There are quite a number on ebay.
Also there's a shop in City Plaza (near Lion City Hotel) which has a brand new one in display.
Not sure how much.
There's even an Minolta X-700 brand new for sale in shop.

you can try cash converters. I got an MTL 50 from there once. It was in pretty good nick. just needed to re-glue the vinyl and change one light seal on film winder side.

But the best place to find old practicas is in e-bay.

Yeah...thought I saw an MTL 50 at Cash Converters about 2 weeks ago.
May still be there.
I've a Praktica BCA and some Pentacon/CZJ lenses for this.
Bought this for 1300 many years ago...body + 5 or 6 lenses brand new.

If you are interested in Praktica accessories like original strap, bag, manuals etc, I know a guy who sells these.

Ebay is a good place to start for old Prakticas. US site has mostly FX models, where as UK and Aussie sites carry some IV's and the rare V's.

I bought a couple last year, both cameras are usable but not 100% working, but the insides were very clean. A IVB, meter works, still accurate, but bottom winder not functioning, and a IV with an original CZ Tessar 50mm lens, the film counter was not working on that one. Each was around US$50-60 incl. postage.

I've checked. But I only need a Praktica body and a standard Pentacon 50mm lens.
